Are Atrophied Nipples A Symptom Of Cancer?

My mother s nipples have atrophied. I was told this is a sign of cancer. Is this true? She had breast cancer in 2007, and completed her medication (Arimidex) in (5) years. She was released by her UCLA doctor as being cancer free. Vicki L. Smith, daughter.

Atrophied nipples of a matured lady of your mothers age, matuarty itself is one cause, your mother had taken tab Arimidex full course, tab arimidex is oestrgen superasent. HORMONE oestrogen maintains breasts, when oestrgen is superesed by drugs breasts and nipples too shrink nothing to worry , I would say tab arimidex has done its duty.
